Braids have always been a type hairstyle that have constantly evolved and transformed with the times. For this reason, there are so many variations of the hairstyle; French braids, fishtail braids, Dutch braids and of course the classic 3 strand braid – the options are endless. However a modern and stylish braid has been trending recently and goes by the name of the waterfall braid. The waterfall braid uses the same braiding technique as the French braid, the only difference being that only part of the hair braided, leaving the rest of the hair to fall down naturally like a waterfall. In this Sebastian Professionals tutorial, we will take you through an explicit step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this fashionably ground-breaking look for your client. This hairstyle is a great opportunity to elevate the classic braid into something more striking and innovative – a perfect look for both daytime and evening events.
